Yes, I'm a proud person. I take pride in the things I do. If I want something, I'm willing to go after it and get it. I personally find that to be an admirable trait. I am not willing to compromise when I feel that it negatively affects me, you're correct. I know it is kind of a silly comparison, but giving up mobs to people who aren't willing to put in the effort to get them is like me accepting a 1.9 GPA because someone else didn't want to do the work and because of that I'm going to give them 1/2 of my 3.8 GPA. Obviously not a perfect analogy, but yes, even in something as trivial as a 12 year old video game, I take pride in what I do and strive to be the best. Do I think I'm better than you because of this? Gear wise, probably. Skill wise, I think I'm a pretty good player, so probably. However, we both play this game because we enjoy it, and as far as that is concerned I cannot honestly say whether you or I has the upper hand. For all I know, you could enjoy the game 10x more than I do, and if that is the case, then in that regard I would say you've got the upper hand.
As far as Xz is concerned, he is about the most sincere, down to earth, and selfless guy I've ever met in a raiding guild. In fact, his personality is so different than any guild leader I've ever had before that it is kind of amazing to me that he is so effective. Hate on me, Kins, Karsten or whatever TR figure you want, because I'm sure there are a ton of things you can attack us for, but honestly, Xz doesn't do anything without first thinking of what is best for the server - the guy is super genuine, almost to a fault.
